My Thoughts:
I always like commenting on the cover of a book because I like for the cover to introduce the book so to speak. It should set up the story. The cover of A Holiday Miracle does just that. It leads the way to a season of miracles.
The story is a sweet love story, but it encompasses more than that; it’s a town full of generous and kind-hearted people that makes it a perfect book for the upcoming holiday season.
There were times when I thought the writing was a little too perfect and there were places where the author added words where none were needed. An example would be describing the restaurant where the characters were eating. The description was ample at the beginning of the date and I felt saying, “…they left the fine restaurant…” a little odd. I am stating my thoughts and preferences on the writing. The author tended to use “bigger” words than you might ordinarily find in a book. I enjoyed those moments as I am a “big” word person. I love words and I found it interesting that an author would choose to write this way. The norm is to write on a lessor intelligent level so you fly through the book. This was enjoyable in that aspect.
I did find the story a little sugary and it had no conflict. It was almost too perfect and didn’t imitate life.
Overall, I enjoyed the book and can recommend it for those of you looking for an uplifting holiday book to read.
